Netanyahu: They are trying to steal the elections Binyamin Netanyahu published a video message on the X social network and claimed that the Arab voters are "rushing to the polls" and "trying to steal the elections from us". According to the "Times of Israel", this is an election tactic in Israel, used to inflame the fear of Arab Israeli voter participation in order to attract Zionist Jews to the polls. Other allies of Netanyahu have also fed into this issue, expressing concern over reports of the high turnout of Arab communities and the low turnout of supporters of Netanyahu's Likud party. But Netanyahu's rival, Ishar's party, accused the Israeli prime minister of creating a pretext to challenge the election results with baseless claims of fraud.
